Platform support overview (Gateway + companion apps)

Looking for OS support or install paths

Deciding where to run the Gateway

Platforms

Moltbot core is written in TypeScript. Node is the recommended runtime. Bun is not recommended for the Gateway (WhatsApp/Telegram bugs).

Companion apps exist for macOS (menu bar app) and mobile nodes (iOS/Android). Windows and Linux companion apps are planned, but the Gateway is fully supported today. Native companion apps for Windows are also planned; the Gateway is recommended via WSL2.

Common links

Install guide: Getting Started
Gateway runbook: Gateway
Gateway configuration: Configuration
Service status: moltbot gateway status

Gateway service install (CLI)

Use one of these (all supported):

Wizard (recommended): moltbot onboard --install-daemon
Direct: moltbot gateway install
Configure flow: moltbot configure → select Gateway service
Repair/migrate: moltbot doctor (offers to install or fix the service)

The service target depends on OS:

macOS: LaunchAgent (bot.molt.gateway or bot.molt.<profile>; legacy com.clawdbot.*)
Linux/WSL2: systemd user service (moltbot-gateway[-<profile>].service)
